16 things you’ll miss when you leave Canberra

1. The ‘what were they thinking?’ public sculptures.

The bird-rat at the entrance to ANU that looks like an extra from Donnie Darko (but that looks great in a graduation cap). The neon flower vase in the Latin American Plaza. The fat reading men in Garema Place that keep getting stolen. The sheep that are great for midnight riding and New Zealand jokes. The giant metal boxes outside the post office that took you three years to realise were meant to be parcels. So many WTF moments.

2. All the clearly lost kangaroos trying to keep up with traffic along Northbourne Avenue’s median strip.
